Commitment to Representation Through Quality - 10 Questions with Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens Director and CEO, Adam Levine

"We want the Cummer to be a destination for anyone - we want this place to be an indispensable part of Jacksonville’s identity."

Founded in 1961, its permanent collection includes over five thousand works of art dating from 2100 BCE to the twenty-first century. Known mostly for its European and American paintings as well as its considerable holdings of Meissen porcelain, the museum also has an award-winning education center, Art Connections, which boasts a number of interactive educational installations and serves underprivileged and special education students with its programs.
